The limestone bedrock provides excellent drainage, ensuring year-round playability. The course is renowned for the excellence of its greens and high maintenance standards. Notable holes include the opening Par 4 (427 yards) with its challenging bank clearance, Hole 5, an uphill Par 3 (136 yards) protected by a hedge and bunker, and the Par 5 finishing hole (485 yards) that curves right toward the clubhouse. The varied topography and strategic bunker placement create an engaging test of golf across the nine holes.
